Start a successful business from scratch with the 30 day business challenge.
Track Your Spending
The first habit you should develop is tracking your spending. This will help you understand where your money is going and identify areas where you can cut back. Use a budgeting app or spreadsheet to track your daily expenses.
Pack Your Lunch
Eating out for lunch on a daily basis can add up quickly. Get in the habit of packing your lunch instead of eating out. Not only will this save you money, but it can also be healthier than eating fast food.
Wait Before Buying
Before making a purchase, wait 24 hours. This will give you time to decide if you really need the item or if it’s an impulse buy. You might find that you forget about the item or decide it’s not worth the price.
Automate Your Savings
Set up an automatic transfer from your checking into your savings account every month. This will help you save money without thinking about it. Even a small amount each month can add up over time.
Avoid Temptation
Finally, avoid temptation. If you know that you tend to overspend at the mall, avoid going to the mall. If you have a weakness for online shopping, unsubscribe from retailer emails. By avoiding temptation, you’ll be less likely to overspend.
